SECTION IV DECORATIVE STITCHING TECHNIQUES

Overedge Sewing (2)

2	1	Stitch pattern:	13

	2	Presser foot:	Overedge foot C

This stitch can be used for sewing heavier fabrics that tend to fray extensively such as linens and gabardines.

Two rows of zigzag stitches are simultaneously sewn over the edge to insure that your seams will not ravel.

Adjust the thread tension so both needle thread and bobbin thread meet at the edge of the fabric.

Overedge Sewing (3)

2	1	Stitch pattern:	14
	1	Stitch pattern:	14
	2	Presser foot:	Overcasting foot M
	3	Thread tension:	6-8

This stitch is more like the overlock stitch which is very convenient to reinforce the fabric edge.

Place the fabric under the foot and guide it to the guide ridge and lower the presser foot.

*The stitch width cannot be adjusted for this stitch pattern.
